Catherine, Princess of Wales, is carefully resuming her royal engagements following cancer treatment, which concluded in September 2024. In January 2025, she announced her cancer was in remission, marking a significant milestone in her recovery.
Her first major public appearance since the diagnosis was at the Trooping the Colour ceremony in June 2025. However, she chose to miss the Royal Ascot event, held from June 17 to June 21, 2025, to focus on her health.
During her recovery, the Princess has been involved in various initiatives, including the introduction of "Catherine's Rose" in May 2025. This coral-pink floribunda rose, created by the Royal Horticultural Society, symbolizes healing and supports cancer research at the Royal Marsden Hospital.
The Princess's measured return to public life reflects her commitment to her royal duties while prioritizing her health. She continues to support cancer research and patient well-being through her patronage of the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust.
